Comparing iterators between buffers should never happen, and the
only place we did was with default constructed BufferIterator which
we replace by casting the iterator to bool.
This should improve performance on iterator heavy code.
The real technical limit is with lines bigger than 2 GiB and buffers
with more than 2 Gi lines, refactor buffer loading to make it possible
to load those files.
Fix an overflow with the hash_data function at the same time
Do not access Buffer::m_changes to find the inserted range, return
it directly from Buffer::insert and Buffer::replace. This fixes a
wrong behaviour where replacing at eof would lose the selected end
of line (as the implementation does not actually replace that end
of line)
It seems unlikely this would give performance gain, as buffer
lines are always accessed when we read that field, leading to
all the necessary data already being in memory. Removing it
reduces the size of a BufferIterator, which are already pretty
hefty objects.
The debug buffer is a bit special as lots of events might mutate it,
permitting it to be modified leads to some buggy behaviour:
For example, `pipe` uses a ForwardChangeTracker to track buffer
changes, but when applied on a debug buffer with the profile flag
on, each shell execution will trigger an additional modification
of the buffer while applying the changes, leading to an assertion
failing as changes might not be happening in a forward way anymore.
Trying to modify a debug buffer will now raise an error immediatly.
We were preserving the history in that case, so on fifo buffers
(that set the NoUndo flag until the fifo is closed), we still had
the history from the "previous life" of the buffer, leading crashes
when trying to apply it.
Fixes#1518
Until now, buffer had multiple recognized end coordinates, either
{ line_count, 0 } or { line_count - 1, line[line_count - 1].length }.
Now the only correct end coord is { line_count, 0 }, removing the need
for various special cases.
Add a ColumnCount type and use it in place of CharCount whenever
more appropriate, take column size of codepoints into account for
vertical movements and docstring wrapping.
Fixes#811
